Before you can use this product
Before you can use your Internet radio, you must have the following:
●A broadband Internet connection.
●A wireless access point (Wi-Fi) or a wired Ethernet connection (10 or 100 Mbits/sec with RJ45 connection)
connected to your broadband Internet, preferably via a router. In many cases the broadband modem, router
and wireless access point will be a single combined unit supplied by your Internet Service Provider or bought
from a computer store.
●If your wireless network is configured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA) data encryption then you need to know the WEP or WPA key so you can get the Internet radio to
communicate with the network.
The Internet radio will typically work within a 10-20 meter radius from your wireless access point. The actual
range achieved will depend upon the building type, other nearby wireless networks, and possible interference
sources.
IMPORTANT: Before you continue, make sure that your wireless access point or router is powered up and
working with your broadband Internet service (use your computer to verify this). To get this part of the system
working you must read the instructions supplied with the wireless access point or router.
Navigationcontrols
1. The majority of functions on your radio may be performed by using the Rotary control on the front panel.
Turn the control clockwise or anti-clockwise to highlight the desired function, and then give a short press on
the Rotary control to select that function. In this instruction booklet, press always means press and release.
Where a long press is needed to perform an operation this is specifically stated in the text.
When not being used for navigating the system menus, the rotary control simply acts as a conventional
volume control.
The rotary control also has an additional function. When listening to the radio, a long press of the control will

provide access to a menu to allow adjustment of bass and treble settings.
2. Your WFR-20 radio is supplied with a compact remote control. All functions can be performed using this.
Many operations require the user to make a selection from the menu. Use the Up and Down buttons in the
group labeled MENU to highlight the desired function. Then press the Select button.
3. If an error is made when navigating the menus, it is generally possible to go back to the previous menu by
pressing the Back button on the remote control.
So that the radio can be used without the remote control, menus also include a Back option which takes the
user to the previous menu. This can be accessed using the front panel Rotary control or via the remote control.
In this instruction book the words 'Back option' refer to either of these methods.

Connecting your radio to your computer network
1. Place your radio on a .at surface and plug the mains lead into the Mains input socket located on the rear of
your radio (marked 'AC in') ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.
2. If planning to use a wired network connect the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 socket at the back of the radio.
If a wired connection is present then the radio will use this in preference to a wireless connection.
3. Plug the other end of the mains lead into a wall socket and switch on the wall socket.
IMPORTANT: The mains plug is used as the means of connecting the radio to the mains supply. The mains
socket used for the radio must remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the radio from the
mains completely, the mains plug should be removed from the mains socket outlet completely.
4. The display on the front of the radio will light up and say: 'Welcome to Internet Radio'. If you are using a
wired Ethernet connection to your router, the radio should connect, and download a radio station list update. It
will then go to the main mode menu, 'After you have connected to your network'.
If you are not using a wired connection, or if the wired connection is not working, after a few seconds the
display will change to show 'Scan for networks'.
There are two indicator lights incorporated into the RJ-45 connector. If you have problems with your wired
connection, they may help you to identify the possible cause of the problem.
Green ON = Link established, Flashing = Data transfer
Yellow ON = 100M bps link, OFF = 10M bps link
Connectingtoawirelessnetwork
1. When the display says 'Scan for networks', press the Select control. The radio will now scan for all
available wireless networks and will show 'Scanning'.

2. If the radio cannot find a network then the display will say 'No Wireless Networks Found'. If this happens
then you will have to get your wireless access point working - please see the instructions supplied with it.
3. When the radio finds your wireless network, it displays the Network Name (ESSID) for the access point on
the screen. This is a name that is allocated to the access point by the person who set up the network
-for example: 'My Home Network'.
4. It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will find more than one wireless access
point, in which case you should choose which one you need to connect to.
5. Rotate the Select control to see the ESSID for each access point that the radio has found. If your network is
shown proceed to step 7 on the next page.
6. If your network is not found, it is possible that it is configured such that the ESSID is not broadcast
(sometimes referred to as hidden). If this is the case then use the Back option and then select 'Enter network
name'. This procedure is described in the 'Network Configuration Menu’, 'Entering the network name
manually'. If you know that your network name is not hidden, and it was not found, then either try re-scanning,
or refer to 'Troubleshooting'.
If you make a mistake at any point, use the Back option to go back to the previous screen.)
7. When the ESSID for the access point you want to connect to is highlighted on the screen, press the Select
control.
8. If your network is not configured to need an encryption code, the screen should say 'Connecting to network',
then 'Network OK'. If this is the case then you have successfully connected your radio to your network, so
please proceed to the section 'After you have connected to your network' on the next page.
9. If the screen displays either 'Enter WEP key' or 'Enter WPA key', it is because the network is using one of
the encryption systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). You therefore
need to enter the correct WEP or WPA key into the radio to allow it to communicate with your network.
If you do not have the WEP or WPA key, then you should obtain it from the person who set your network.
Some Wi-Fi routers may come with a key already set up by the supplier, in which case you should refer to the
user documentation provided with it.
WEP keys are 10 or 26 characters long (using 0 - 9, and A - F). Some Wi-Fi access points can also use
pass-phrases for WEP but these do not conform to a defined standard and are not supported. WPA keys are
usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63 characters. Your Internet radio can accept pass-phrases
for WPA keys.
If the WEP or WPA key was previously entered and the radio has not had a factory reset the display will show
'Using saved key' and should then connect to the network.
10. After 3 seconds, the display goes into the key entry mode. To enter the key, use the knob to select each
character of the key in turn, pressing the Select control after each character. Remember, WEP keys only use
the numbers 0 - 9 and letters A - F. WPA keys are sensitive to upper and lower case characters so you must

enter them exactly.
11. If you make an error use either the Back key on the remote control to delete the character entered, or give
a long press on the Select control. Use the left and right arrows to move the block cursor to access incorrectly
entered characters.
12. After the final character of the WEP or WPA key has been entered, locate the 'END' symbol and press the
Select control. (The 'END' symbol is located between the punctuation symbols and the numbers 0 - 9.) The
radio should now be able to connect to the network.
After you have connected to your network
1. Once connected to your radio to the network (and therefore also to the Internet) it will display the main
Mode menu. This menu provides access to all major functions of the radio. There are also buttons on the
remote control for each of the Mode menu options except for the Configure menu.
2. Rotate the Select control until the 'Off' option is highlighted on the display.
Switching your radio on
1. With the radio in Standby mode (displaying the clock), press the Select control (or the On / Standby button

Media Player
Media player basics
The Media Player allows you to play audio files which are stored on a computer on your network. Supported
file formats are MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, Real Audio, AU and playlists (M3U). Note that the
playback of DRM protected content is not supported.
Your radio supports two file access methods. It can connect to folders shared on the network, commonly
known as Windows Shares. It can also connect with file server applications using the Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP) protocol.
All of the supported file types are playable in Windows Shares mode. When using a UPnP server, the playable
file types are dependant on the server softwareused.Forexample,MicrosoftWindowsMediaPlayer11canserve
MP3, WMAand WAV files. To be able to play the other supported file types via UPnP you may need to install
additional third-party software.
When using Windows Shares, music selection is by Artist, by Album and optionally by track within an Album.
When using a UPnPserver, the search and selection criteria are determined by the server, but typically include
additional options such as Genre. Many server applications also allow you to access files according to the
folders within which they are stored.
Note that the references to 'PC' in this section refer to any computer device that may be sharing content on
your network, whether it is a Windows device, an Apple computer, a Linux device, or any other. We use the
generic term 'PC' simply because it is short and convenient.

Using Windows Shares
Setting up your Windows PC to allow the radio to access your audio files via Windows Shares.
1. Please ensure that your PC is available on the same network as your Internet radio. Using Windows
Explorer, locate the folder where your audio files are stored.
2. Right click on the folder.
3. Select ‘Properties’.
4. Click on ‘Sharing’.
5. Select ‘Share this folder on the network’and ‘Allow network users to change my files’.
Please note, do not try to make your ‘My Documents’or any of its sub-folders (e.g. ‘My Music’) shareable.
Locatethesharedaudiofilesusingtheradio
1. Usethe Select control to switch on your radio and to access the menus. If needed, use the Back option to
access the main Mode menu.
2. Rotate the Select control until 'Media Player' is highlighted on the display and press the Select control.
Alternatively, use the Media button on the remote control
3. Rotate the Select control until 'Windows Shares' is highlighted, then press to select this option.
4. Rotate the Select control until ‘Scan for PCs’is highlighted and press the Select control again.
5. The radio will now display ‘Finding PCs’. If any PCs are sharing folders on the network they will be shown.
When the search is complete, rotate the Select control to highlight the PC which is sharing your files. If your
PC does not appear, check its file sharing and firewall settings.
6. Press the Select control. The radio will then search the selected PC for shared folders. If the PC's security
settings require it, the radio may ask for a user name and password. Enter these according to your PC's
settings.
7. Rotate the Select control to highlight the correct shared folder and press the Select control to confirm the
selection.
8. The radio will display ‘File Scan…’as it scans through the media files in the shared folder. The bottom row
of the display will show some file or folder names to indicate that the file scan is in progress. If you have a

large number of audio files this could take several minutes to complete.
9. Once the radio has .nished scanning, it will display ‘By Album’, 'By Artist', etc. Use the Select control to
scroll through the scanned media files, which will now be organised ‘By Album’, ‘By Artist’and ‘Playlists’
–if available.
Note that the first time the file scan is performed, a file called ‘.reciva_ media_cache’is written to the folder
where the audio files are stored. This file is created by the scanning software in order to speed up subsequent
file scans.
Set up a Windows PC to allow the radio to access your audio files via a UPnP server
1. If your PC is running Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Vista then you can use Microsoft's Windows
Media Player 11 (WMP 11) to act as your UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) media server. If not already
installed on your PC, Windows Media Player 11 may be downloaded from Microsoft’s website and installed
by following the instructions detailed in its installation wizard, or by using Microsoft's Windows Update
facility.
2. Once installed, WMP 11 can create a library from all the media files available to it on your PC. To add new
media files to the library, select 'File >Add to Library… > Advanced Options', click 'Add' and choose the files
you wish to add and click ‘OK’.
You will now need to connect your Internet radio to Windows Media Player 11 and configure it to allow the
radio to access your media library. In order to this, you will need to follow these next steps.
Connecting the radio using UPnP
1. Usethe Select controltoswitchonyourradioandtoaccessthemenus. If needed, use the Back option. Select the
Media Player menu. Rotate the Select control to highlight 'UPNP Servers'.
2. Press and release the Select control and the radio will scan for all available UPnP servers. Note, this may
take a few seconds for the radio to complete its scan and before the scan has completed, the radio will display
'Empty'. The radio will continue to display 'Empty' if no UPnP servers are found.
3. After scanning, select your UPnP server (rotate the Select control if more than one UpnP server is found),
and then press the Select control. Your radio will normally display 'Access Denied' at this stage.
4. Your PC may now prompt you that a device has attempted to connect to your UPnP server. Whether you are
prompted or not, in order to allow the radio to have access to the media files, you will need to click the
'Library' tab in WMP 11 and select the 'Media Sharing…' item to open the 'Media Sharing' window.

5. From the 'Media Sharing' window, the radio will be listed as an unknown device. Click on the unknown
device shown to select it, then click the 'Allow' button and then click 'OK'.
Note: If you are using Microsoft Windows' firewall software, this should be correctly configured by WMP 11.
If you are using third party firewall software you may need to manually configure it to allow your radio and
WMP 11 to communicate (see 'Troubleshooting').
6. Select the named server again using the Select control. If WMP 11 is now able to communicate with your
radio you will be presented with some media selection options by the server software.
Locating and playing media files when using UPnP
Once the UPnP server has been configured to share media files with your Internet radio, you select the files
that you wish to play as follows:
1. Use the Select control to switch on your radio and to access the menus. If needed, use the Back option.
Select the Media Player menu. Rotate the Select control to highlight 'UPnP Servers'.
2. Press Select control and the radio will scan for all available UPnP servers. Note that it may take a few
seconds for the radio to complete its scan, and that before the scan has completed the radio may display
'Empty'. The radio will continue to display 'Empty' if no UPnP servers are found.
3. After a successful scan, rotate the Select control to highlight your UPnP server and then press the Select
control.
4. The radio will now list the media categories which are made available by the UPnP server - for example,
'Music' and 'Playlists'. Rotate the Select control to highlight which category you wish to browse, then press the
Select control to confirm your choice.
5. Rotate the Select control to highlight a category and press the Select control again. For example, you could
select 'Music' and then select 'Albums'.
Note: In UPnP mode the search criteria offered and the file types made available to the radio are a function of
the UPnP server software installed on your PC.
6. Rotate the Select control to highlight the media files that you wish to play and then press the Select control.
Do not worry if not all of your media appear in the menus immediately. Windows Media Player needs to look
inside each file to identify the artist, album and track information from 'tags' embedded in each file.
Additionally, Windows Media Player may take time to access the Internet to obtain additional information
such as 'album art' which it can display when you examine your music library on your PC.
7. The radio will display '[Add to Queue]'. Press the Select control and the radio will add all the tracks in the
album to its queue and begin playing them automatically.

Mediaselection
Whether you access your files using Windows Shares or using UPnP, the file selection mechanisms are the
same. The only difference between the two methods is that when using UPnP you will generally have a wider
choice of search criteria, as determined by the UPnP server software on your computer. Some third party
server applications allow customisation of the search criteria and indexing methods, which can be useful if
you have a very large collection of stored music files.
The selection mechanism allows you to search by a given information type (Album, Artist, etc.) and then to
narrow the search, either just to an album or to a particular track within an album. The selected album or track
is then added to a queue of tracks to be played. You can add more albums or tracks to the queue while music is
playing, or you can jump between tracks in the queue. You can also clear the queue if you wish to make a
fresh selection. The searches described here are examples of the possibilities available.

Auxiliary input socket
Your radio has a 3.5mm stereo jack socket for connection to external audio sources. This can be configured to
two sensitivity levels to suit the output level of the connected device.

mid-level and then use the volume control on your Internet radio to set a comfortable listening level.
Note: In the event that the sound is either too quiet, or loud and distorted, it may be that you need to adjust the
Auxiliary Input level setting - please see the following section.
Settingtheauxiliaryinputlevel
Different audio sources can vary quite significantly in the strength of the signals which they provide to other
equipment such as your Internet radio. In particular, some headphone outputs are at a much lower level than
others, and almost all headphone outputs are at a lower level than so called 'Line-level' outputs.
So that you may use your radio with a range of external audio sources, the input sensitivity of theAuxiliary
Input may be configured to suit either Headphone or Line-level outputs. The Headphone Level setting is the
more sensitive of the two.
